3-Bromo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid (CAS 6324-52-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7BrO4 and a molecular weight of 247.04 g/mol.
3-Bromo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid (C8H7BrO4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
CATO manufactures 3-Bromo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
